Sweet Things

Let’s talk about something sweet.

We know you’ve heard the phrase of wanting to “have your cake and eat it too”. Well some of our modern brides are throwing that away and deciding they don’t want cake at all! Lately we have seen the emergence of the “Dessert Bar” and there’s no doubt this trend is here to stay!

It’s simple, cake isn’t for everyone. And not to mention how much those gorgeous 5 tier masterpieces cost. Wedding cakes are delicious and definitely an eye-catcher, but if cake isn’t your favorite dessert, why spend $6 a slice! The dessert bar is a great alternative to the traditional cake cutting. Whether you decide to go all out on a different type of sweet treat or decide to mix and match, the change of pace from a tiered cake will be refreshing and sure to please your sweet-tooth guests.

Some of our favorite dessert bars are made up of a variety of different treats! We’ve seen everything from mini-cupcakes, to macaroon towers, and even cheesecake stations! The dessert bar is an awesome opportunity to cut down on budget while still impressing your guests. Personalize the desserts to match your destination or personality, and be sure to save a few for yourself for a late night snack!

Is the idea of no cake too untraditional but you still want to limit the amount of money put towards dessert? Try having a small cake for cutting and pictures, then have a sheet cake in the back to serve to guests. This will help you save on costs and left-overs!
